WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST UNINFORMED PEOPLES OF THE WORLD

In a nation
where half of the schools teach creationism as a viable alternative to science,
we start out from a base of indoctrinated ignorance. Add to that a media which feeds us a steady
diet of reality TV, always focusing on the latest exaggerated sensationalism;
and we end up with an uninformed, and uncaring citizenship.

You turn on
any news program and all you will see is the latest scandal of Trump or the
latest scandal of Hillary, with a side note on the death and destruction from
an earthquake in Italy.

Our nation
is under threat, but not from ISIS. No
one is paying attention.

North Korea
is a nuclear nation run by an egotistic dictator. They have detonated two nuclear bombs in the
past two years. They have been test firing mid-range missiles, and this week launched a mid-range missile from a submarine into the Sea of Japan. Their
leader Kim Jong-il, son of a man who never defecated and could walk on water – along with
other miracles, has recently made the statement that he intends to bomb South
Korea with a nuclear weapon.

North Korea claims to have miniaturized a nuclear weapon

Why aren’t
we covering this story as our top concern?
I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but are we being purposely
distracted by our own government with the threat of ISIS, in order to downplay
the real threat of North Korea? Are we
being purposely kept uninformed by the government, while the press raves on
about the latest sensational un-newsworthy story?

Why isn’t North
Korea the lead news story; and why are we so complacent in our ignorance?
